When an ageing, impoverished nobleman decides to style himself "Don
Quixote" and embarks upon a series of daring endeavours, it is
clear that his ability to distinguish between reality and the
fantasy world of literary romance has broken down. His exploits
turn into comic misadventures, in which everyday objects are
transformed into the accoutrements of chivalry, peasant girls
become princesses and windmills are mistaken for formidable giants,
leading the hero and his squire Sancho Panza into the realms of
absurdity and humiliation. Renowned for its comical set pieces, Don
Quixote is a profound meditation on the relationship between truth
and fiction and the morality of deception, as well as the
foundation stone of the modern novel.
